When Losing Isn’t an Option.

Our attorneys have a long track record of success, and we know how to tilt the playing field in your favor. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with some of the biggest commercial litigation firms in the country and won, including some of the largest jury verdicts in Idaho history. We know how hard you work for your business. And we’ll work just as hard to help you protect it.

Exactly When Aren’t The Stakes High?

We’re reinventing what a law firm can be by delivering personal attention and efficiency. We’ve recovered over $2 billion for our clients by being responsive and never forgetting that your attorney makes the closing argument, not the law firm.

We Believe There's Something Better Than Bigger.

The enormous overhead. The bureaucracy. Trust us, we know what big firms are about. Our partners have been head litigators and managing partners for some of the largest firms in the Northwest. When we founded Andersen Schwartzman Woodard Dempsey, we set out to reinvent what a law firm could be, putting an emphasis on personal attention and efficiency for all our clients.

Instead of swelling our ranks with expensive administrative and junior-level staff, we built a firm around the top trial attorneys in the business. Because when it comes down to it, your attorney makes the closing argument, not your law firm.

Our unique experience includes over $2 billion in litigation wins for our clients

What Our Clients Say

Having worked with several law firms in the past few years I have found Andersen Schwartzman to be the very best representation available. They have the expertise, knowledge, and credibility to provide solutions to complex litigation.

Andersen Schwartzman is an excellent law firm with excellent lawyers. They are very well versed in all types of commercial litigation and listen to the client’s needs. Ben is both an excellent litigator, and very responsive to all levels of our organization. He is knowledgeable regarding our industry, business model, and structure. I would not hesitate to use this firm for any claim or litigated matter.

— Lanetta Scott,Agrium Retail/Crop Production Services

Andersen Schwartzman is excellent in every capacity. They rapidly understood our issues, recommended a reasonable course of action, and took perceptive and strategic depositions. They worked as a true team to conduct litigation creatively and aggressively, accepted our advice and assistance, and made reasonable recommendations. Throughout, they maintained strict honesty and transparency. I would not utilize another firm unless forced to do so.

Contact information

We use the latest technology to efficiently and effectively manage each case. We’ve pioneered the use of iPads to share and store documents during depositions and trial preparation. iPads significantly reduce the amount of copies needed and provide quick access to key documents. By going paperless, we’re better able to serve our clients and the environment.

We also have a state-of-the-art database program for managing large document cases—including imaging and coding documents and cutting-edge trial presentation software. At Andersen Schwartzman Woodard Brailsford PLLC, we use technology to support our attorneys and our talented litigation support staff in their organization and management of each case.

We have the technology and expertise to effectively represent our clients—no matter the size or resources of the opposing counsel.

FEES THAT FIT

Choosing a law firm based on hourly rates doesn’t account for talent, ability, experience or outcome. In many instances, flexible fee arrangements—including fees with a risk-sharing component—are the best option for our clients.
